From the author: Excerpt from the article “Taste of time” The article was published in the magazine “In the City” (Mytishchi, Korolev). The questions were asked by Ekaterina Baklanova, the magazine's editor-in-chief. You can read the continuation of the article: Taste of time Is man an eternal time traveler, with power over him as much as he has power over his soul? Is time travel possible? Time travel seems like a fantasy to many, but almost all of humanity lives in the past and future, and few people live in the present. The most difficult thing for a person is to learn to live in the “here and now.” Some live in the past: they call on the past, wanting to stop it, constantly turning over yesterday’s victories or mistakes in their heads. Others constantly live for tomorrow: their plans, thoughts, fears for what does not yet exist. In both cases, a person gets confused in these times, misses the real present Time, never lives, but only hopes to live, missing out on what belongs to him... We have power only over what we fill the time given to us, over our thoughts and actions. And we can always change our past and present here and now by our attitude towards it. For example, in psychotherapeutic trainings “family constellations”, people, changing their attitude towards certain situations that have already occurred in their life or the life of their family, change their present and future. By changing the view of the situation, the meaning of what happened, a person realizes a different reality and finds himself in a different space, which carries a completely different essence of his life. And this is within the control of every person! How to use time more wisely? Most often, a person accepts Time without thinking, as something taken for granted. He proudly calls it “my time,” as if it were truly his property, as if he himself created it and it is subordinate to him. Therefore, humanity often does not value time and behaves as if its quantity is unlimited. Time is easily wasted, squandered and killed, and no one is embarrassed, having spent theirs, to demand it from others if it seems necessary. Contrary to popular belief, man is by no means the master of his time. Time belongs to the Creator, and man only controls it. And each person is responsible for the time given to him... For many people, time management comes down to doing as much and as quickly as possible. However, the qualitative aspect of time management is much more important than the quantitative one. For the most part, humanity lives according to the laws of three dimensions. When performing any action, a person uses his body, mind and heart. For example, a person is at an important meeting, that is, his body is sitting at the meeting, and at this time his mind is aimed at resolving a family conflict, and his heart yearns for love. And a person is simultaneously in three places, in three different spaces, and his life energy and given time are dispersed, located in three completely different life aspects. He is “upset” - the energy is gone, time has passed, the result is disastrous. It doesn’t matter what a person does, what matters is where his body, thoughts and heart are during this activity. When a housewife cooks borscht and completely devotes the allotted time to preparing this dish, and her heart and thoughts are with borscht, then she has managed this period of time in the best possible way. And the head of a large department, sitting developing a new project, counting his dividends in his head, and being with his secretary in his heart, will waste this period of time. It turns out, as in Krylov’s fable “The Swan, the Crayfish and the Pike” - everyone pulls the cart in his own direction, as a result of which it remains in place. If a person, while doing something, manages to synthesize the body, mind and heart in himself, then he will concentrate all your energy on one goal, spend much less time on it and get the best results. A person must consciously live in “Here” and “Now” and use the day given to him as meaningfully as possible. Time is a derivative expression of a person’s ability to use and apply the fire given to him at birth in/5-11-190-125
